Locked Screen Utility

[Nestharus]

This needs updating. MFN is being updated big time atm with a lot of new features, so this will have to be changed for the updates. This will also including a few other interesting things that the new MFN allows you to do : ), including locking a unit to a player's screen rather than locking a player to a unit's screen : O. What does that allow? Arrow movements with 0 delay ^_^.

a simple locked screen utility for MFN.

Requires MFN v.01e CN15

This is v.01a CN2 ftw

Got rid of UPN call : O, lol.... i had it in there to make things easier to read and what not, but i forgot it was in there : O.

it works 100% and is very easy to use ^_^

default interval (how often it locks the screen) is 3.

It uses memory addresses for the units... so uhm...

local integer unit = MFN.createVariable()
MFN.setVariable(unit, MFN_U2I(CreateUnit(blah blah)))

yea... ;p

or.. if you get the spiffy UPN utility, which isn't out yet, you can just do this

set integer unit = UPN.createUnit(player, unittype, x, y, facing)

Description-
Locks a player's screen to a unit : )

LSN Diagnostics (normally disabled)-

scope LSjijahHG
    private keyword LSNStructure

        LSNStructure LSN
    endglobals
    
    private struct LSNStructure

        public static method create takes real interval returns LSNStructure
            set LSN = LSNStructure.allocate()
            call MFN.registerSystem(LSN.SYSTEM, LSN.CN)
            call LSN.require()
            set MFN.diagonstics = true
            return 0
        endmethod
    endstruct
endscope

Usage Example-
In your MFN Interface, just put this in your utility area

    public function utilityINI takes nothing returns nothing
        call LSN.create()
    endfunction

turn on locked by using the turnOn method

LSN.turnOn()

turn off by using turnOff method

LSN.turnOff()

add players/units by using addPlayer method : P
*Note* takes a memory address atm using virtual memory from MFN

LSN.addPlayer(Player(0), 30)

remove a player with remove

LSN.removePlayer(Player(0))

change interval to w/e with interval
*Note* Interval is how often it locks the screen

LSN.setInterval(2)

There's a reason to keep the two if statements separate btw... : o

 

[MapperMalte]

Omg, this doesn't compile...
And it would be nice if your wrote what this is used for.

 

[Nestharus]

it does compile... i told you it was written for use with MFN ^_^, heh.

Requires MFN v.01e CN12

and the thread and everything says what it is used for o-o

 

[MapperMalte]

Whats MFN?
I just downloaded the testmap.. A testmap that doesn't compile oO
I'll edit my review.

Edit: This has totally no sense!

Kamera - Lock camera target for Spieler 1 (Rot) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Vorgabe-Drehung

 

[Nestharus]

#1- it does compile. I looked at MFN downloads and it was at 0, so you're still not using MFN : P.

Requires MFN v.01e CN12

That means it will not compile without MFN v.01e CN12, or it might but it won't work right : ).

#2-

Kamera - Lock camera target for Spieler 1 (Rot) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Vorgabe-Drehung

That's why I said it was very simple : ). This just allows you to turn it on, turn it off, add and remove players for units, and set the interval for keeping it locked to disable CTRL + C.

If you ever do locked screen for units, this is the utility to use ; ).

EDIT-
Oh woops, I see a UPN call in there... hmm.. apparently it requires UPN as well : O.

UPN.getUnit(LSN.unit[x])

EIDT 2-
Got rid of UPN call : P

 

[MapperMalte]

I donwloaded LockedScreenUtility.w3x
==> Didn't compile.
maybe you reuploaded?
Ah, and you can also unlock the camera easily. There is absolutely no sense for this.

 

[Nestharus]

resp-

I said that 3x now? I also said that in the first post? And I said this was designed to work with MFN? And I have MFN working with this and it compiles?

MFN

resp-

it makes it easier and adds functionality that you'd normally have to do by hand : P. Once again, I said this was a *Very* simple *utility* : P.

From post #1

a simple locked screen utility for MFN.

 

[MapperMalte]

So simple, that nobody needs it.
And let me quote myself:

I just downloaded the testmap.. A testmap that doesn't compile oO

 

[Nestharus]

The download doesn't come with MFN...

 

[TriggerHappy]

The download doesn't come with MFN...

Thats sort of...stupid.

 

[Nestharus]

So, I know this will never happen, but I'm throwing it out there...

let's say you have 10 megs worth of systems. You want another system that requires all of those, so you have to download all 10 megs again. You want another, so another 10 megs, etc, etc.

Or, you can have 1 system by itself nice and organized and just download system by system ; ).

Download everything again and again or download one thing at a time? That is the question : P

Just add the demo map, or else nobody is going to use/test this.

 

[Nestharus]

Oh, that's a good idea.. add a demo map ^_^

Wasn't thinking about that ; P. I'll do it soon ok, rawr. I'm reworking a lot of MFN at the moment though... I kept adding more and more stuff to it and it got to be a headache to read. I'm also optimizing a few things o-o. On a final note, I think I've figured out a really good way to do multi-threaded looping to prevent loop crashes >: D, and I increased the system capacity from 500 to 40,000 by changing other things around : O. Just a lot has change : ).

But yea, sry if you got the wrong idea MapperMalte. That download wasn't a test map or a demo map. It was a utility release so you could just copy the system and paste it into your map =P.

 

[Element of Water]

Since MFN was graveyarded, why is this still around?
